You Lift Me Up!

The Lift Me Up stamp and thinlit set reminds me of my first trip to Australia. My friends and I took a sunrise hot air over the Hunter Valley.

We floated over vineyards and fields with grape vines and kangaroos. The mountain views were absolutely stunning. We had such an amazing day that I recreated my hot air balloon ride with this thinking of you card.

The green and blue color block was made by applying markers to clear acrylic blocks and spritzing them with water before "stamping" it onto cardstock. I used Old Olive, Bermuda Bay, Tempting Turquoise, and Pacific Point on an H block.

The sentiments in Lift Me Up are so lovely and heart-warming. 

Looking at this card I thought the layout and color palette would work well for a masculine card. I changed the greeting to create a masculine birthday card for my husband's birthday next week.

On the inside of the card, I stamped the small and medium sized clouds. I sneaked/snuck in a little love cloud too. I think he will really like his birthday card!

How have you used the Lift Me Up Bundle? I would love to see what you make!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happiest Birthday Gift Certificate

One of my sweet customer's sister contacted me for the perfect birthday gift - a Stampin' Up! gift certificate. To celebrate, I created a personalized gift certificate envelope with my customer's favorite butterflies. My customer was thrilled with her birthday present!

The butterfly images come from the Papillon Potpourri stamp set and silver embossing powder. The belly band was created using the Stitched Shapes Framelits and the Cool Treats stamp set and slides off for easy opening.

I added a framed Whisper White rectangle on the inside of the envelope so my customer's sister could write a personalized message. I took a photograph right before adding the message rectangle but forgot to take a second photograph.

Are you looking for the perfect gift for the stamper in your life? Contact me today to order your gift certificate for your loved one.

March Stamp of the Month: Basket Bunch

March's Stamp of the Month Class will be held Tuesday, March 21st. Choose from two sessions - morning from 10:00am to 12:30pm or evening from 6:00pm to 8:30pm. We will make four projects using the Basket Bunch stamp set (Item #143186) from pages 18 and 19 of the 2017 Occasions Catalog. Basket Bunch is a photopolymer stamp set that has a coordinating die set called Basket Builder Framelits (Item #143228).

Basket Bunch stamp set and Basket Builder Framelits also come as a bundle with a 10% savings. If you wish, you can order the bundle (Item #144731). I recommend ordering the bundle because it saves time, money, and sanity. Plus, you get two adorable basket thinlits and a row of grass thinlit perfect for creating Easter treats. However, the framelits will not be needed for class time. I will supply the framelits during class time.

The cost is $10 plus the cost of the stamp set (or bundle). The class fee includes the shipping, taxes, and materials costs for the in person (for here) class option.

Please tell me if you would like to order just the stamp set or the stamp set and framelit bundle.

CLASS TO GO OPTION: If you are not local and would like to attend, place your order online and use hostess code YWVVA9AB. That way your stamp and thinlit set are mailed directly to your house. I will then mail a priority envelope with the class project cardstock to your house.  You will mail me a check for the class fee & $6.85 to ship the project cardstock and embellishments. Then we can assemble the cards together over Facetime, Skype, or Facebook Messenger.

You must RSVP and prepay for this class by Monday, March 6th, 2017. I will place the order for class on Tuesday, March 7th, 2017.

I look forward to seeing you at class!
